Chapter 393: You Say You Don't Want to Go Halfway
It's good now, I agreed to marry you, and the people also let you take it back, and you said you didn't want to go halfway?
The slapping of his face made the king of Ladakh completely angry.
Within half a month, the king of Ladakh personally led his troops, crossed the border, and went straight to the capital of the king of Guge.
A few days ago, the place where Chu Fan treated the queen was not the capital of Guge, but the palace of King Guge in the north, and the reason why he came to the palace was that he wanted to personally lead the team to attack the Gelugpa temple, so he walked all the way from the south to the northernmost part.
At this time, the prince was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but say that King Tashi Zabad personally led his troops back to defend, and at this time, he couldn't take care of Chu Fan, let alone the Gelug monks who were locked up in the cave. Leaving behind the old, weak, sick and disabled, he ran away overnight with the elite troops.
Chu Fan had no intention of helping King Suodafa, but he still had to provoke a war between the two countries.
As soon as the king's forces withdrew here, King Sodafa had already led a kind of monks and began a counterattack.
Chu Fan, as the king's guest, accepted the best reception, but when the king left, he forgot to take the good doctor Chu Fan with him.
Here Chu Fan has not received the news that the king has returned to the royal capital overnight, but here the royal brother has already broken into the palace with monks and soldiers.
In the previous stage, when the king suddenly launched a struggle to suppress the Gelug sect, the king's younger brother King Sodharfa was unprepared, he was first robbed of the manor, and then expelled, and then the king felt that it was not enjoyable, and sent someone to arrest him and imprison him, forcing him and a group of Gelug monks to do penance in the cave, the incident happened suddenly, and the monks of the various temples did not gather together in time, fighting separately, basically had no ability to resist, so the situation was very passive.
But in fact, in the country of Guge, the Gelug sect has a very good mass base, and as soon as the king left, a large number of former Gelug monks and ordinary people immediately came to surrender to the king and join the team.
Soon, His Holiness organized an armed force of monks and laymen, and the flames of revenge were blazing, and the king's brother, King Soda, immediately marched with this team to the royal capital, and put his brother to death.
It stands to reason that the old monk Jiayangdan Zhu was also rescued in this chaotic incident, and Chu Fan should go back to the Han District to go to Ganzhou Wei to do his own business, but King Suoda did not agree to him leaving.
Although Chu Fan did not go to assassinate Princess Ladakh according to King Suodafa's arrangement, he still provoked the war between the Kingdom of Ladakh and the Kingdom of Guge through another method, which was equivalent to doing King Suodafa a great favor.
King Suoda believed that Chu Fan was definitely his nobleman, so he insisted that Chu Fan stay by his side, and also gave Chu Fan an official title, an official position that could be held in religion without being a monk - Zundamba.
Zundamba is not a religious official position, it belongs to the leadership position of the Tibetan army, similar to the modern chief of staff, Zundamba translates to think tank.
Chu Zun Danba, just like this, was left by King Suoda Fa by his side, and marched towards the royal capital together.
The royal capital is located in the hinterland of Ali, which is still very far away from the palace, and I don't know if the royal capital will still be there when King Tashi Dhabad rushes back, after all, the personal expedition of King Ladakh has been out for a long time.
Along the way, Chu Fan saw the strength of Buddhism, whenever he heard that King Suoda passed through the local area, all the monks and masses all poured out of their nests to greet them on the side of the road, the formation was extremely huge, and the middle-aged men even brought their bags and joined the team directly.
This may be the reason why King Tashi Dhabade launched this anti-Gelug campaign, his own Dharma brother, the power he can summon is too great. Once the younger brother is against him, his throne will not be within reach.
Speaking of which, these two brothers are not fools, one is scheming, cultivating religious forces, and becoming powerful, and the other is a thunderous means to destroy religious organizations, which should be said to be very political.
But once a person commits "two." "Come, it is likely to affect the fate of the whole country.
My brother just made a mistake here and returned the princess.
Here, my brother is starting to make two mistakes.
To everyone's surprise, King Sodafa led his team back to the royal capital to join forces with King Ladakh.
The king of Ladakh personally conquered Guge, ostensibly to avenge his sister's humiliation, but people who understand politics can see at a glance that this is an invasion from the beginning, after all, countries of the same origin start fighting for no reason, which is really not so embarrassing.
However, his younger brother King Sodafa committed a mistake at this time, and he actually believed that the king of Ladakh had come to help him seize power.
Didn't even think about the most basic question, why would Ladakh help you? Just because your brother won't marry his sister?
This decision must have been made by King Sodafa a long time ago, but he did not tell anyone, everything was done in secret, and it was not until the king of Ladakh outside the royal capital that everyone suddenly realized.
Although Chu Fan didn't want to care about these, since he had been coerced by King Suoda to come here and given a position such as chief of staff, he had to make a judgment on this matter.
Chu Fan, who saw the problem, came to King Suoda on this day, bowed and said, "Honorable Dharma King, I have something to say, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”
By this time, King Sodafa had gone from being a prisoner to a commander with tens of thousands of troops, and he was sure that King Ladakh would help him defeat his brother, and he would be the ruler of the country.
It's been an extremely high mood these days, and I've devoted myself to how to break the city.
Seeing Chu Fan coming, he thought that Chu Fan was going to offer advice, so he invited Chu Fan to sit down, waved his hand and asked him to speak.
But he didn't want Chu Fan to come to him, and he didn't say how to break the city.
"Your Holiness, now our team and Ladakh's team are under siege and ready to attack, but I have some concerns and want to speak to your lordship."
King Sodah waved his hand and said, "It's okay to say it. ”
"If the Dharma King breaks the city, what is he going to do with your brother Tashi Zabad? What will you do if the king of Ladakh does not support you to ascend the throne or even occupies the royal capital? ”
Seriously, although King Sodafa has been in a state of excitement, he has never thought about this problem, although the king of Ladakh promised him that he would support him to become king after the city was broken, but what is the effect of verbal guarantees?
Yes, as soon as Chu Fan's words came out, the Dharma King himself was also in a cold sweat, yes, what if people cheat?
But now that the city is besieged, the soldiers are united, and the King has no way out, what else can he do now?
Let's take the plunge.
In order to take care of his face, His Holiness did not show his uneasiness, and said very calmly: "Don't worry about Zundampa, I have already agreed with Ladakh here, and I will ask you to be the khenpo of Soda Monastery when the time comes." ”
Obediently, if you don't appreciate it, forget it, and let me Chu Fan become a monk?
Gotcha, when I didn't say it.
Chu Fan made an excuse, left in a hurry, and when he went back, he packed his bags and was ready to slip away at any time.
To say that the king and Master Soda are brothers in the end, the rhythm of the two is very consistent, this time it is more interesting, the two of them not only committed two, but also joined forces to commit two, and they cooperated well, so "two." "A handful.
After Chu Fan spoke, King Suo Dafa did muttered for a while, yes, he really didn't think about the problem Chu Fan said, but now that the soldiers are in the city, the arrow is on the string, and he is almost trembling.
had to prevent Ladakh from repenting of his cheating, so he played a little clever trick again.
His analysis is like this, after all, the soldiers in the city are all from the Guge country, and as the second prince of the Guge country, he is also very popular, in fact, in the final analysis, there is only one person he has to deal with, that is, his brother, so as long as he defeats his brother, the soldiers in the city will obey him, so he can retain the strength inside, plus the troops he brings outside, even if Ladakh is cheating, he has the strength to fight.
So, he met with the king of Ladakh overnight and offered a proposal for peace negotiations, telling the king of Ladakh that he could take the royal capital without a single soldier.
This is the advice of King Sodapha. King Sodafa brought the religious representatives of the Guge Kingdom into the palace and negotiated with the king, and the requirements of the negotiation were that from now on, the Guge Kingdom would pay tribute to the Kingdom of Ladakh, and the king would abandon Catholicism and return to Buddhism.
If Tashi Zabad agrees to the above conditions, they will go down the mountain together to sign the treaty, at which time the king of Ladakh will capture Tashi Zabad, and then King Sodafa will return to the palace and call on the hundred officials to surrender and submit to the kingdom of Ladakh, and follow Ladakh from then on.
After listening to the suggestion, the king of Ladakh agreed very much and immediately asked King Sodafa to carry it out.
And on the second day King Sodhaphat brought them into the king's house.
Not to mention that the brothers are joining forces to commit two crimes, Tashi Zabad has been forced into a desperate situation at this time, and he waited for half a month from the siege of Ladakh, and did not see a shadow of reinforcements, but waited for the troops brought by his younger brother, and the armed forces under the jurisdiction of Guge, all the Tusi held an attitude of watching the excitement and refused to come to the rescue, indicating that the elite class has abandoned themselves, and at the religious level, the Catholicism they support is now less than 400 believers, and Buddhism has long followed his younger brother to become an enemy.
At this time, how can I still think too much, I just want to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, and talk about it later.
He soon agreed to his brother's request and drove the Catholic missionaries out of the city.
Tashi Zabad himself followed his brother out of the city to the military camp in Ladakh at the foot of the hill to sign the contract.
The king of Ladakh really kept the agreement with King Sodafa, and as soon as Tashi Zabad entered the barracks, he was arrested, and the king of Ladakh went one step further on the basis of the agreement and arrested King Sodafa together.
Good guys, the two princes, made full use of famous schemes such as the Trojan Horse Trick and the Dark Chen Cang, turned themselves into prisoners, and handed over the dynasty to each other, which is really seamless and unparalleled in the world
Classic.
Soon, the leaderless Guge royal capital and the Gelug monks outside the royal capital began to be confused, fleeing and fleeing, internal strife, seeing that the best time to seize the Guge royal capital had come, but there was no movement of the soldiers in Ladakh.
In the eyes of the king of Ladakh, it is not a better time, he still has to wait for the military power of Guge to further divide and disintegrate, and seize the royal capital of Guge at the lowest price.
However, he certainly hasn't learned a Chinese idiom called "Outdated and Waiting".
Because there is a famous general who has not been born for 5,000 years, he is in the military camp next to the capital of King Guge.
Hearing the news that the two commanders were captured, although only some fleeing soldiers could be seen from the outside, and there was not much movement, in fact, the inside had already exploded.
Inside the Guge Palace, the leaderless palace army first considered how to rescue the king, and some people offered strategies to attack the enemy army at night to rescue the king.
The opposition thinks that this is not to mention the cost, even if the night attack is successful, the devil knows where the king is held, even if he knows where the king is being held, what if the enemy army tears up the ticket before the army arrives?
Most of the opposition were loyal fans of the king, or they were worried about his safety.
The night raiders said that since this is not possible, how do you think the opposition can rescue them?
What the opposition proposes is that if you spend money to buy it, Ladakh will come to fight, and it will only ask for land, gold and silver, and beautiful women, and go and talk to them, and we will give him whatever you want, in exchange for returning to the king.
The Night Raid faction said that it would be okay, so which of you is going to negotiate?
The opposition is collectively dumb again.
Who would dare to go? The king dared to give you a prisoner, and whoever goes again will definitely not want to come back.
This will not work, that will not work, this issue will be put on hold for the time being, and finally the two factions will come up with a new idea, the king - no.
How's that, clear thinking, right?
The final conclusion reached by the two factions was that it was too risky and too costly to rescue the king, and it was better to let the little prince ascend the throne, because the little prince was only a little more than a year old, his mother, the queen, was temporarily in power, commanding the army, and the other ministers were assisted, as long as he could withstand this wave, it would be cold, and Ladakh would naturally retreat.
When the time comes, it will be better to return it to the king, and if it is not returned, the little prince will ascend the throne.
If you don't say that this Tashi Zabad is not a mixed bag, why is everyone's attitude towards him very ordinary. Blame himself, if you don't regret your marriage, where is the excuse to let the Ladakhi soldiers come to the city? Everyone's wife and children are hot on the kang, isn't he fragrant?
And the Gelug monks outside the city, too, were in a state of leaderlessness, and they became a pot of porridge.
In addition to His Holiness, the highest status belonged to the four khenpos and the four great masters of Suoda Monastery, as well as the newly appointed Chuzun Danpa, as the highest-ranking steward monk of the Gelug sect in the Guge country, and at this time was the leading collective of the entire army.
Several eminent monks also disagreed.
Some people said, since the Dharma King has been captured, our purpose is to promote religion, not to seize power, the Guge Kingdom is gone, and everyone has nothing, so it is better for us to send people to the palace to sue for peace, unite with the outside world, resist foreign enemies, and wait for the enemy to be driven out, who is in charge of the kingdom, let's discuss it again.
Although the powerful factions in the city and the religious factions outside the city all want to sit in a row and eat the fruits, after all, now that the fruits are about to be plucked, they don't care about how to distribute them, and the internal contradictions of the people cannot be greater than the problems of foreign enemies.
But who goes to negotiate in the royal palace? No one wants to go, after all, King Sodafa went in and fooled the king out, and as a result, the king was arrested. Maybe the queen will be angry and kill you on the spot.
In the end, everyone took a fancy to a suitable candidate - Chuzun Danba.
As the only official in the monk army who is not a monk, he only represents the monk army, not the monk class, plus he is not a monk, so he has not been persecuted by the elite class in the palace, so there is no hatred, so everyone's opinion is very unanimous this time, even the old monk Jiayang Danzhu also raised his hand in favor.
Seeing that this group of monks was so respected, Chu Fan couldn't refuse, so he simply went to meet his old sick number, the queen, and regarded it as a follow-up.
During the period of seeing the queen in the palace, the queen gradually walked back from her madness, Chu Fan came to the follow-up every day, inquired, and got along well with the queen, so when the queen saw Chu Fan come to negotiate, she gave him a high etiquette, gave him a seat, gave tea, and did not show any hostility.
The current queen, her husband was captured by the enemy and his life and death are uncertain, so half of his life should be gone.
Half a life is gone, and the queen must be half a widow.
Once a woman becomes a widow, she becomes insecure.
It is true that the people around her are local nobles, but there are few knowledgeable people, seeing the chaos in the palace, people are panicked, the divine doctor has gone down to earth again, the queen is very happy, and she is relieved, in her opinion, this is God to save the dynasty.
I couldn't help but say that I had to hand over the king's army to Chu Fan and beg Chu Fan to save the palace.
Chu Fan also panicked, I am here for a follow-up visit, not to die.
You don't see how strong the army in Ladakh is outside, do you? You don't know how shameless the king of Ladakh is, do you?
Do you want me to lead troops to fight for you to save your husband? Why are you so shameless?
But men, in general, have a weakness and cannot withstand the tears of women.
The queen saw that Chu Fan was unwilling to help her guard the palace, let alone help her rescue her husband.
The tears came down in an instant, and they were better than the Beiying gang who learned to act.
Holding Chu Fan, he half-squatted down, holding back tears, crying bitterly.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, okay?"
Chu Fan was shaken again, in the face of such a poor woman, she was framed by someone before, she became a madman, she was easily cured, and now she is facing the destruction of her family, once the palace is occupied, won't she, the queen, end up the worst? It is terrible to think about being taken in as a concubine by others, being a slave if you can't get it, or being given to a lower-level official to have fun.
Okay, okay, if you want to catch the ducks on the shelves, I'll help you again.
Seeing that Chu Fan agreed to take over the army, the queen did not hesitate to present the scepter with both hands.
The so-called scepter is an old broken wooden stick with a large coral ring inlaid on it.
Coral in Tibet is an auspicious blessing and a symbol of power.
